Raiders Focus on 3rd-Quarter Scoring Woes After Losses to Chiefs and Bills – WTOP News
Buffalo scored late as Las Vegas dropped its third straight, with rookie Mike Washington Jr. providing the most consistent run game.
On Sunday, October 18, 2026, the Las Vegas Raiders fell to 3-3 after a 33-30 loss to the Buffalo Bills at Allegiant Stadium, marking their third consecutive defeat.
Tied 13-13 with the Buffalo Bills at halftime, the Raiders were outscored 24-3 in the third quarter, continuing an NFL-worst minus-26 point differential during that period this season.
Quarterback Kirk Cousins passed for 313 yards and two touchdown passes, yet the Raiders converted just 2 of 5 red-zone opportunities into touchdowns against Buffalo, limiting their comeback chances.
Coach Klint Kubiak said Monday, "It's really putting us in a bad spot," citing a complete lack of production in the third quarter as the coaching staff works to identify solutions.
Las Vegas hosts the Los Angeles Rams this Sunday at Allegiant Stadium, with defensive tackle Tonka Hemingway expected to return to practice this week following his concussion recovery.
